Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for The Lake District right now.
Lakeland restaurants increasingly reflect a growing British awareness of good food. Local sourcing and international influences are common, and even old Cumberland favorites are being creatively reinvented. Pub dining in the Lake District can be excellent—the hearty fare often makes use of local ingredients such as Herdwick lamb, and real ales are a good accompaniment. If you're going walking, ask your hotel or B&B about making you a packed lunch. Some local delicatessens also offer this service.
Cumbrian ingredients are used to create authentic Spanish tapas in this charming little restaurant in the center of Penrith. There's an extensive tapas menu with plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, but the best value option is to choose four specials for £20 (available Tuesdays through Thursdays as well as Sundays).
